"Champions League Semi-final 2009"

Between a week of working like crazy to meet some ridiculous deadline, there was UEFA Champions League football semi-final 2nd leg to watch. Came back from work alrdy 10PM, sleep at midnite, wake up 3AM..

Semi-final #1
Arsenal v Man United
Result: 0-0 first leg, 1-3 second leg, 1-4 on aggregate. MU qualify.

Semi-final #2
Chelsea v Barcelona
Result: 0-0 first leg, 1-1 second leg, 1-1 on aggregate, Barcelona qualify on away goals rule.

Felt sorry for Chelsea because they *almost* qualified, but Barcelona scored right at the end to qualify on the away goals rule. The difference between the 2 semi-finals was that Chelsea fought for it while Arsenal didn't even turn up. It's so frustrating to see after MU were 3 goals up, they just slowed down, as if pitying Arsenal. But the truth is we were just not good enough. When it really matters the most, Arsenal went missing again. FA Cup semi final also like that, Champions League semi final also same.

Sigh, in Arsene we trust, but please do something about this!

Yea, very disappointing and heart breaking. Arsenal lost to Chelsea again yesterday 1-4. Home, we can kena belasah. Sometimes I wonder whether we are consider Big 4? Even relegate team won't get belasah like that. We support Macross better. They never disappoint us :P
